Best wishes friend and glad your alive. You can do it!
I quit cold turkey in 2009 after getting pneumonia for the last time. No bronchitis anymore either. I can say for me their was finally a day where I wasn't tempted and havent been since. In fact the thought of me smoking a cigarette makes me ill, but I still like cigars for some reason. Weird. Still havent smoked since 09'.

I'm back,.....
I can't believe it's been so long !
Two years ago I had another heart attack. I'm not smoking, so I consider myself ''clean'' lol. I haven't had any tanks up & running for four years, but I think I'm back. I'll probably start a new thread on what's happened and my plans. So, if you see it, please come join me in my ''re-birth'' into the hobby. lol
Thank you everyone for you prayers !

My wonderful and very much Loved sister wrote on facebook, "Just wanted to let family and friends know my brother, Kevin Gilmore suffered a heart attack last night. He is in CCU at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Lincoln and had 3 stents put in. He is in stable condition and doing well. I am going to see him later this afternoon. Say a prayer for him" (thanks sis)
I had a heart attack on Wed, but I'm home and resting comfortable, well, resting anyway. Lol,..... I have diabeties, smoke, 54 yrs old and have a food belly, which is not, a good combination, but,...that'll be changing starting yesterday !
It was very,.....difficult to know that I was having a heart attack as my acid reflux diease has about the same side affects, even neck, shoulder, chest and arm pain.
Those who know me, I've had a brain injury since age two and have a headache, migrain amount pain, and worse, "zaps" in my head that feel like the bug zappers (zzzz,ap, zap...) we use in our back yards, 24/7. I'm used to pain with a high threshhold, so I'm going to a class at the Nebrasks Heart Hospital next week to learn how to dissifer the differences in case this happens again.
When I turned age 50 and had great insurrance (unlike now) I went through all the battery of heart tests and was found in good heart health, so finding out that one artery was blocked 99%, second 98%, third 60% and fourth 30%.
The Doctor said I was very lucky and was smart to go to the hospital, as a lot of men don't and pay the price. Doing so, kept my bottom heart from major damage.
Until speaking with the heart surgen today, we did not know that stress alone, like my constant pain, can increase the chances of heart attacks by a large percentage.
One of my best friends gave me a gift card for the E-Cigarettes, that helped him quit smoking. Thanks Chad !
Smoking since age 16, this will be very difficult, but with all of your support, I will Conquer this addiction !
I want to thank all my family, great friends and even total strangers for visiting me at the hospital, phone calls, email's, social media, and here on R2R for your support, Love, thoughts and prayers !
Kevin
You got this brother one day one step at a time.
